 Great article about how a diet can help solve many of our problems.

Wow, haven't posted in a long time!  Everything was so busy with the holidays and everything.  I took some pictures of a couple of gifts that I made this year!  And I had at least one present for everyone that I wasn't able to finish.  Oh well.  Since we had an early Christmas this year when my sister came to visit, I can post these without worry.

A key holder for my mom.   Bought the wood at Micheal's and the hooks at Lowe's.  I'm actually quite proud of this, I haven't painted in years and I'm so happy the rabbit turned out well!  The shading was such a pain.  But I love it.  My mom loves rabbits, btw, and she had a metal key holder with rabbits on it but the hooks are so small that everything just slides off.  So I made her a new one :)

Yea, I'm so not ashamed that my sister and I 'get' Shakespeare jokes :P  I thought it was so clever.  "Exit pursued by bear" from A Winter's Tale.  :D  Pretty funny right??!  I came up with the exit sign idea all on my own :)  Just rounded the edges of a scrap piece of wood I had in the basement and started painting!

Anywho, those are all I have pictures of right now!  At the moment I'm working on a dress that I'm going to wear to see Wicked this weekend.  I know, cutting it close. I'm going to be SO overdressed, but I'm still so excited about it.  I love making fancy dresses, I just never have anywhere to wear them.  My own design and everything.  I'll post it when I'm done!

Yes we can. Didn't you think so?

Great moving story about a woman's way to veganism.

Great article. Sometimes the world seems to conspire to make you feel exactly that way.

I just signed this. Would you like to do it too?

about something that wasn’t supposed to happen. What do you do when you find out things that are too hard to cope with? When your life get shattered? At the moment I don’t know what to do.

First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!

The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.

A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.

Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.

On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.

And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!
